Glow Squid swim through rain

Glow Squid live in deep water, except for when it rains. When it's about to rain, they swim to the surface in preparation to swim up through the rain, similar to how players can move through the rain with Riptide tridents. This would give an implied connection between the behavior of Riptide and these mysterious creatures of the depths which previously was thought to only belong to players. It would also allow players to forecast rain by observing the rise of Glow Squid. It can be difficult to prepare for an outing that takes full advantage of Riptide in the rain when you have zero heads up as to when a rain/thunderstorm may appear.

    I think this is a great idea that would really add some use and background to the Glow Squid.

    I wouldn't have them actually fly in the air, but it would be cool if there was a mob that swims higher when it is about to rain.

    Perhaps there is another thing that detects when it is about to rain. Plants could move, lightning rods could have an animation, etc
